Meatloaf Muffins

Meatloaf Muffins


1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion, chopped carrot, dried oregano and minced garlic. Saute 2 minutes. Take off the heat and allow to cool completely.

3. Combine onion mixture, 1/2 cup ketchup, and the remaining ingredients except cooking spray in a large bowl. Spoon the meat mixture into 12 muffin cups coated with cooking spray. Top each with 2 teaspoons ketchup.

4. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes or until a thermometer registers 160 degrees F. Let stand for 5 minutes.

5. While the meatloaf is cooking, make the mashed potatoes. Place potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water.

6. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes or until tender. Drain. Put potatoes into a ricer for best results.

7. Return potatoes to pan. Add milk along with the remaining ingredients and stir with a spoon to desired consistency. If they are not creamy enough for you, add up to 1/4 cup more milk - although they need to be stiff enough to pipe on top.

8. Put the potatoes into a pastry bag with a wide star tip and pipe the mashed potatoes on top of the meatloaf. Sprinkle with bacon crumbles and chopped chives.
